  • Alternative Use of Deinking Sludge As a Source of Fibers in Fiber-Cement Manufacture
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by EPrints Complutense CELLULOSE CHEMISTRY AND TECHNOLOGY ALTERNATIVE USE OF DEINKING SLUDGE AS A SOURCE OF FIBERS IN FIBER-CEMENT MANUFACTURE ANGELES BLANCO, CARLOS NEGRO, ELENA FUENTE and LUIS MIGUEL SÁNCHEZ Department of Chemical Engineering, Chemistry Faculty, Avda. Complutense s/n 28040 Madrid, Spain The present paper, contributing to solving two different problems related both to the chemical industry and the environment, is a feasibility study on the utilization of the deinking sludge (the most important waste from papermaking) as a raw material for fiber-cement manufacture, in which asbestos has been recently replaced by other fibers because of the hazard it induces. The results obtained show that the use of deinking sludge as a source of cellulose in fiber-cement manufacture is feasible and could improve product strength, if 5% of the virgin fibers are replaced by fibers and fines from the deinking sludge. It is also possible to replace up to 10% of the virgin fibers, with no loss in product strength. These results, if confirmed on a mill scale, would improve the economy of the process, as due to lower waste costs. Keywords: fiber-cement, deinking sludge, recycling, waste management, sustainability, papermaking wastes INTRODUCTION As known, papermaking is an industry However, recycling operations, espe- leader from the standpoint of recycling and cially deinking, generate an important sustainability, the main reason being that quantity of wastes, representing 70% of the virgin and recycled fibers can be used wastes produced by the European pulp and together, sometimes contributing with paper industry.

  • Benefits of Polycups Stock Over Other Waste Paper Grades in Paper Recycling
    EDITORIAL bioresources.com Benefits of Polycups Stock over Other Waste Paper Grades in Paper Recycling Avdhesh K. Gangwar It is never too late or too early to invent alternative processes for the betterment of our routine life. For paper production, trees are being cut in huge quantities each day, and this directly affects our day to day life by making atmospheric conditions less favorable. Waste paper can be recycled on average 4 to 6 times while maintaining acceptable qualities in recycled paper. To save forest resources, we should move ahead towards using more and more waste paper for paper production. A wasted resource can be recycled either to make the same product or by manufacturing new products, e.g. cardboard boxes, newspaper, writing and printing papers, and paper bags, etc. Several waste paper grades are not being fully utilized, and their use might allow increased paper recycling to produce new recovered paper with specified paper qualities. Polycup stock is an example of an under-utilized type of wastepaper that has the potential to substitute effectively for virgin pulp production. Keywords: Deinking; Paper grades; Paper recycling; Polycups Contact information: Department of Biotechnology, Thapar University, P. O. Box 32, Pin- 147004, Patiala, India; [email protected] Recycle more to save our environment, but is it really easy to do? This editorial considers a way to minimize waste by using a neglected waste paper grade for the manufacture of paper. Ordinarily, for this to happen, adequate deinking of recycled fibre is needed to remove all ink and other unwanted materials from the secondary fibres.
